'm Chapter 10
Sage and the others found each other not far from the throne room. Yami was happy to see that they had found Joey, Ryou and Rowen, but it still left them to find Ryo and Buka.
"Where's Buka?" Ryou asked concern in his voice.
"Marik has her," Yami said, anger in his voice. "She won a duel and he took her hostage."
"Don't worry, we'll get her back," Sage said to him. "You can bet on that."
In the throne room, Talpa called Dais and Cale back into the throne room and whispered something to them and they left. Not soon after they left, Marik showed up and was talking to Talpa. Buka glanced over at Ryo, who was still unconscious. The bleeding had just about stopped.
Then she turned her attention to Marik and Talpa who had stopped talking and Marik was walking towards her.
"It's time for my revenge on Yami and I'll start by taking it out on you," Marik said.
She knew that whatever he had planned wasn't going to be good.
At the house, Mia had fallen asleep in the chair beside Cye's bed. Cye had finally fallen into a troubled, but deep sleep. His fever hadn't gotten any worse and that was a good sign. She had been getting him to drink water in order to get the venom out of his body and it seemed to be working.
A noise from the first floor woke her up and she went to investigate, thinking it might just be White Blaze coming in from patrolling around the house. Downstairs, Cale and Dais entered the house. They had knocked White Blaze out when he tried to stop them.
"That tiger wasn't too hard to deal with," Cale said as they walked toward the stairs.
Mia backed away from the railing when she recognized their voices and hurried back to Cye's room. She knew he shouldn't be moved, but she had to get him and herself to safety.
"Cye? Wake up," she said, shaking his shoulder, causing him to stir. "We need to get to safety. Cale and Dais are coming upstairs."
Even though weak, Cye managed to get to his feet and with Mia's help, went through the bathroom and into Ryo's room.
"Where's White Blaze?" Cye asked.
"I don't know," she said. "They might have knocked him out."
Back at the castle, Buka found herself chained just like Ryo was. Marik smirked as he brought the whip back and let it loose, striking her right across the back. Now she knew what Ryo went through. She felt as the back of her shirt was ripped. Marik only stopped when she slumped against the chains and then handed the whip back to Talpa.
"Take them both down to the dungeons," Talpa told Sekhmet and Anubis.
They unchained the two and made their way down to the dungeons and chained them in one of the cells. At Mia's, Dais and Cale burst into Cye and Kento's room and looked around not seeing them.
"Now, where did they go?" Dais wondered. "Torrent should be too weak to even move."
"Split up and look in every room in the house," Cale said. "We'll start downstairs and work our way up."
They left the room but stayed outside the door, because they could sense that Cye and Mia were in the next room. Mia, thinking it was safe, helped Cye out the door of Ryo's room, only to be grabbed by Cale and Dais and disappeared with them, heading back to the castle.
In the dungeons, Buka started to come around to find herself in a damp cell, with her hands tied behind her back. After her eyes adjusted to the light, she saw Ryo sitting across from her, also chained to the wall.
